Today’s high is expected to reach into the mid-70s this afternoon, before another cold front blows in tonight and drops the mercury by 30 degrees.

There’s also a 50 percent chance of rain today, along with hail and damaging winds, but the worst storms will stay in East Texas and move into Louisiana, according to Amber Elliott, a meteorologist from the National Weather Service in Forth Worth.

“February its typically a pretty active month,” she said. “We can see anything from snow to severe weather.”

The fog that blanketed the skyline this morning will clear up by the afternoon, giving way to partly sunny skies.

Highs for the rest of the week and into the weekend will be in the upper 50s, and the next possibility for precipitation comes Friday and Saturday, when there’s a 20 to 30 percent chance.

The snow that visited the area Sunday is gone for the moment, but Elliott said the weather has a mind of its own.

“Just looking at our temperatures for the next week, our rain chances will stay just rain,” she said. “But you know that can change at the drop of a hat. It is Texas.”
